I’m planning to publish a book in the following months, but I’m not entirely sure if the procedure is the same for both copyrighted and copy-lefted books. If you hadn’t guessed, I’m publishing one with the latter license (i.e. Creative Commons). I’m planning on using Lulu.com for this first book, but I was wondering if...
Book #6 was released earlier this week, with the final #7 due next year....
I’ve tried looking this up and never find a solid answer. Seems to be down to preference, but I’m thinking there has to have been some study around fonts and reading speed or reading comprehension, something that would help me pick a font?...
If this is meant to be elsewhere, please let me know. I once read a story about a soldier who was in a horrific assault, who was then grafted into a large battle mech. As the story goes on, more flesh is taken until eventually only a spinal column and brain are left inside a gel-sack, and the machine has been upgraded to the...

The “fathers” and “sons” in the title refer to the two different generations of the liberals and the...
I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years. When reading books became a compulsary part of school, that enjoyment just vanished, and video games ended up filling that void of “solitary passtime”. I dont even...
Did many of you even have much nonfiction?...
Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?...
Any Michener fans here? I just read “Space” and it was amazing. Wondering what from him I should read next?
Writing a Good Bad Guy in Books (In Fact any media) is the “classic choice” sometimes they are really poorly made, and don’t work. Other times, they are loved so much that when the character was only added to kill the hero, they end up becoming an Icon
Loved the Embers of Illeniel series and I’m really digging where Phil Tucker’s Immortal Great Souls series is going, and I’m looking for more. I like the progression elements of a weak/underpowered MC growing into a powerhouse over the course of the story, and I REALLY like said powerhouse using that strength to pay back...
I hope this is allowed here, if not, feel free to remove my post, mods...
I’ve just finished Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam and was incredibly impressed. I haven’t read anything in a while that captures what it might actually be like faced with the collapse of society....
